I saw the announcement on the main page, but when I went to the website (Which is listed as here (http://www.readyaimfuture.com)), I saw no contest, and a search yielded no results.

EDIT: The banner just popped up now, click it to go to the contest page.

Here are the answers to my original questions for a quick run-down of the contest.

-Will this be an in-game contest based on skill, or will it be a luck-based contest with a random winner?
Answer: You have to watch the show and answer a question or two about it to be eligible to win.

-Will the contest be avaliable on only January 10th, or will it be open before and after the date?
Answer: Online after 4PM (EST) on 1/13/07

-How do we enter this contest?
Answer: Fill out the standard contest sheet and answer the questions related to the show.

-Is the grand prize 2,000,000 points, or is it multiple prizes of smaller quantities that add up to 2,000,000 points? (I would think the latter.)
Answer: 5,000 Codes for 400 Microsoft Points, limit one per person.

-Who is the contest open to?
Answer: Legal Residents of the US, must be over Age (...?)

-Why is Discovery Channel doing this, as it seems a little expensive for just a little publicity.
Answer: It is a promotion for their new show, "Future Weapons".

I did a google search and looked at the top 30 results, and the closest thing I got was 1,000,000 Microsoft Points being given away by Verizon... In March of 2006.

The link is perfect, I just followed it. That is the site listed on the main page, check for yourself.

EDIT: Thank you Waaaaaaaak, I will edit my first post with the answers given. A few of my questions are still unanswered, albeit less important.

It doesn't seem like it's worth all the trouble for 400 Microsoft points does it? They should have at least made them worth 1000 a piece.

It's not just a simple information form though. A question or two is going to ask about the season premier of their new show, which is an hour long. So it's really a 1 Hour+ form to fill.

We're still waiting for that one volunteer.:p

There were two entry dates that don't require watching the TV show. I suggest you take advantage of them.
